How often is it ok to give calpol for teething????

[didsnbump]

My ds is 17 weeks old, and im pretty sure he is teething as he is getting very upset at times especially when tired and is chewing anything possible, even his dummy at the side of his mouth.

After alot of crying last night at bed time i gave him some calpol, and after a very upset day today, i gave him some calpol again as i got him ready for bed, and thankfully he has gone off to sleep with out much trouble at all.

Am i ok to give him calpol at bedtime and poss earlier in the day aswell while he is getting like this????

Try freezing breast milk or formula for him to suck on. Otherwise calpol, calgel and nelson teething powders. And lots of hugs.

Hi my baby is eleven weeks now and has been teething for the past three weeks..he also has severe collic..ive tried everything possible to try soothe him as he squeals constantly..i breastfeed him so he apparently shouldn't be collic..rubbish..he is and its so awful seeing him in pain..and now teething on top of it..recently by chance I bought the last bottle of weleda teething and collic granules and what a difference absolute turn around..however boots have went out of stock and are no longer continuing this label..typical..i found more online though and just bought four bottles lol..all herbal ingredients so safe for baby😊 if any mums are going through this with their baby try these amazing..good luck

my daughter is 3 and a half months old, I’m 99% sure she’s teething, she has two teeth coming on her bottom gums, but rather than the middle they are more in between the back teeth and the middle.. (hope that makes sense) so basically I have noticed this first tooth just being there for about a week and a half now, I can tell it’s her gums that are causing her distress as she won’t suck on a bottle or anything when she’s clearly hungry, I’ve been giving her the baby nurofen as it seems to work better than calpol, her temperature is absolutely fine, I can’t give her anything other than a few teething gels, the powders, calpol is nurofen, she can’t hold teething toys very well as of yet, and gets even more frustrated when I hold them for her, I’ve rang my doctors only to be made to feel like an awful mum for giving her nurofen, and to be told ‘you’ve got to let her cry’, as a FTM I can’t just watch her cry in pain and be hungry, I only give her one dose a day really of nurofen as the pain comes in waves for her, I’m just wondering is it normal for a tooth to take this long to cut? I know they say teething can last months and come and go here and there, but surely she can’t be in pain every single day with the same tooth for months? I’m sorry if I sound thick or anything, just a very worried first time Mum, thanks xxx

Hi Mum's!
I'm a first time mom to 4 month old baby girl.
Would like to understand am I creating an trouble for later.
My baby girl settles quite well in buggy for her naps during the day. In evenings she likes to fall asleep at my boob. She sleeps ok through the night.
So my question is am I creating massive issue by letting her fall asleep at my boob in the evening. Do they grow out of it? Or will she get so use to it I will have to do it till she is 3 years old or so .
Thank you!
